| Beschrijving keerzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, depicted in the classical Hellenistic tradition as befitting the principal deity of the Bithynian civic pantheon. The god is shown with mature, bearded features and a laurel wreath, presented as a bare bust truncated at the neck. The surrounding Greek legend names the proconsul Lucius Mindius Pollio, whose magistracy provides the key dating evidence for this issue. The field is heavily worn and patinated, with a dark olive-brown and reddish surface obscuring finer details of the die engraving. The reverse inscription runs around the periphery of the coin in a circular arrangement. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucius Mindius Pollio served as proconsul of Bithynia-Pontus under Claudius, and his name appearing in the magistrate formula on local bronze coinage was standard practice for the province — Rome permitted cities like Nicomedia to continue striking civic bronzes provided they acknowledged both the emperor and the Roman official overseeing the region. Bithynia had been a senatorial province since 27 BC, bequeathed to Rome by its last king, Nicomedes IV, and the proconsular naming convention on these issues reflects that administrative inheritance directly.
